• Kernel Space

  • Bootlin ☛ Materials for our “Embedded Linux Networking” training released

    Back in April 2025, we announced the launch of a brand new training course titled Embedded Linux Networking. At the time, the course was still under active development, and training materials were not yet available.

  • Collabora ☛ PipeWire workshop 2025: Updates on video transport, Rust efforts, TSN networking, and Bluetooth support

  • Fudzilla ☛ Steam on Linux dips slightly as AMD takes CPU crown

    Valve survey shows open-source crowd still keen on Deck-powered setups

    Valve's latest Steam survey dropped a bit later than usual, but the Linux numbers are finally in and while there’s a tiny dip in overall share, the AMD crowd has reason to cheer.

    Steam on Linux managed 2.57 per cent marketshare for June 2025, down just 0.12 per cent from May’s record of 2.69 per cent. Despite the slide, it’s still looking solid compared to this time last year when Linux sat at 2.08 per cent.

    A good chunk of that growth has been driven by the Steam Deck, which runs Valve’s SteamOS Holo and now accounts for roughly a third of Linux gamers. With more handhelds jumping on the SteamOS bandwagon, that number is only heading in one direction.

The Linux kernel had a few updates and packages like GNU Compiler Collection 15, Mesa 25.1.3 and PipeWire 1.4.6 enhanced use of modern hardware, improved rendering capabilities and enhanced audio processing. Among the most crucial updates this month were those addressing security vulnerabilities.

    • Farid Zakaria ☛ Nix S3 multi-user woes

      Somehow along the way, the community has changed the default installation to the multi user mode which necessitates [sic] systemd and leverages a Nix daemon.

      To be honest, I’m not clear why the change was made and it looks like others are just as confused. 🤨
